Tomer’s Take: The next atmospheric river (AR) surge hits CA late 3/13 through early 3/15. Watching for one additional AR surge on 3/21. The Northeast gets moderate to heavy snow late 3/13 through early 3/15. Forecast Tahoe Rain/Snow Line 3/13: Up to 7400′ 3/14: Up to 8500′ 3/15: Up to 6400′ 3/16: Up to 7100′ […]

Snow forecast through 3/21
Tomer’s Take: High rain/snow line continues in CA. Next atmospheric river (AR) surge arrives late 3/13-3/15. Looking down the road, another storm system hits the West 3/19-3/21 with colder air. My mountain weather forecast video 3/12: Forecast Tahoe Rain/Snow Line 3/12: Up to 7100′ 3/13: Up to 7400′ 3/14: Up to 8400′ 3/15: Up to […]
AR Surge 3/14 and Storm System 3/19
Tomer’s Take: Active jet pattern continues out West with another atmospheric river (AR) surge coming late 3/13 through early 3/15. This is followed by a storm system on 3/18-3/20. The Northeast could see two storm systems. My mountain weather forecast video 3/11: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows the Pineapple Express in full swing. Forecast […]
Snow forecast through 3/19
Tomer’s Take: The current atmospheric river (AR) continues through 3/11 then fades. The 2nd moderate to strong intensity AR surge occurs 3/13-3/15. Beyond 3/15 there is one additional storm systems but it’s not AR related. Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows the Pineapple Express. Tahoe Rain/Snow Line 3/10: Up to 7,400′ 3/11: Up to 6,900′ […]
Pineapple Express, High Snow Levels, Deep Totals
Tomer’s Take: Two atmospheric river surges will push the rain/snow line to 7,000-8,500ft in the Sierra. The biggest snow totals occur above this level. Heavy overrun snowfall occurs in UT, CO, WY. Tahoe Rain/Snow Line 3/9: Up to 8500ft 3/10: Up to 8000ft 3/11: Up to 7100ft 3/12: Up to 7200ft 3/13: Up to 8000ft […]
Snow forecast through 3/17; Pineapple Express
Tomer’s Take: Big snow totals are likely through 3/17 with two different moderate to strong intensity atmospheric river surges. The Northeast gets a coastal storm system with heavy snow accumulation 3/13-3/15. Season Totals So Far: My Forecast: High chance that Palisades Tahoe overtakes Alta and Brighton by 3/18. Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows an […]
Two Atmospheric River Surges through 3/16
Tomer’s Take: Two moderate to strong intensity atmospheric river (AR) surges are possible through 3/16 generating deep snow bullseyes. Current Setup Infrared satellite shows an active northern jet branch loaded with areas of low pressure. Forecast Pattern Forecast jet stream valid 3/11. The Pineapple Express in full swing. The flow nails the Sierra like a […]
Atmospheric River and big totals through 3/15
Tomer’s Take: Deep snow bullseyes are likely through 3/15 with a return of a moderate (to strong) atmospheric river 3/10-3/12. 9-day grand totals of 80-90 inches across the Sierra, and 36-40 inches across parts of the Wasatch. Kirkwood is reporting 19 inches in the last 24 hours, and 34 inches in 48 hours. Palisades Tahoe […]
Atmospheric River might return
Tomer’s Take: Three storm systems are lined-up for the West through 3/14. Plus, a weak to moderate intensity atmospheric river (AR) is possible 3/10-3/12 with heavy snow accumulation. My snow bullseyes are the Sierra and Wasatch. Kirkwood is reporting 15″ in the last 24 hours. Mammoth Mountain is reporting 12-14″ in the last 24 hours. […]
Three storm systems through 3/13
Tomer’s Take: The jet stays active for the West through 3/13 with three different storm systems. My mountain weather forecast video 3/13: Current Setup Water vapor satellite shows a large trough of low pressure hitting the West Coast with 2-3 feet of snow for the Sierra and heavy accumulation for the Wasatch Front. Forecast Pattern […]
